The Caledonian Hotel

The Caledonian Hotel in the beautiful bay of Oban is deceptive at first look as the outside exterior looks old and worn but within it has had a major update and modern look. Especially the reception and entrance hall, café and restaurant and lifts.

The staircases are so big and have a nautical look to them as if your climbing some cruise liners grand stairway.

In some parts guests may find the hotel needs repairs but it makes up for it in the top quality antique furniture throughout each bedrooms. Each room has everything you need with wi fi and a very old stylish décor to suit the Hotels age

The hotel is near Oban's train station plus bus stops opposite, including the bays tour bus. The pier is also right across the road which includes shops and places to eat. The view from the front bedroom windows over look the stunning Oban Bay which at night is just as beautiful as the day but with lights and reflections bouncing off the claim water.

In fact some nights we turned the TV off and the lights and just lay on the bed looking at the view by night just so relaxing

The hotel food was as expected in such a tasteful hotel however we decided on only using it's breakfast facilities purely due to Oban having so many places to eat out even thou we could of booked an evening meal.  The breakfast we were offered had a massive range of self service as well as cooked breakfasts. Staff were polite and helpful and served cooked breakfast to our private table.

We both found the hotel an ideal base for our long weekend break as everything was so close by and it was comfortable and friendly and that is all you need for a great stay
